Fear mongerers!!!!! Nothing more than Fear mongerers.

Fear mongerers!!!!! Nothing more than Fear mongerers.

A note from Radarsite: This is the epithet with which yours truly was labeled for posting my Understanding the New Left at another venue. I won't mention the site or the commenter's non de plume; but I will repeat their comment. I will repeat it because I think it's important. In fact, I think it's so important that I'm responding to this nasty little comment with one of the longest articles I've ever posted.

They've accused me of selling hate, like a fishmonger sells fish. An odd analogy certainly; but nevertheless, am I guilty? Yes, I confess, I am most definitely guilty. But guilty of much more than what they accuse me of. I have been ambitiously mongering my hate for quite some time now, but it seems that I'm not a very good mongerer. I must not be doing a very good job, because so few people are buying what I've got to sell. And of course I've got a lot of fellow mongerers out there mongering their hate, too; but we've all got the same complaint. No matter how hard we try, we just don't have enough customers these days.

We're not just selling hate though, are we? We're also selling truth. But unfortunately we've had only limited success with this product. Some people, like our original commenter, just don't want it. They don't want it anywhere near them. It's an unwelcome guest in their house. Their houses are built on a foundation of illusions and lies. And they get mightily pissed off and intolerant if we start messing around with their foundations and disturbing their cozy little houses. They want to be left in peace to contemplate their lovely vision of this world, and we, the hate mongerers, the truth mongerers, are disrupting their lives. And they get quite resentful, don't they? They call us names and slam their doors shut in our faces.

Well, so be it, we'll just keep on selling. And the truth we're selling today is simply this:

We are in a war, folks. A desperate war for our very survival. We are fighting against an enemy who hates us clearly, openly and without qualifications. They are driven by the passion of their crystal clear hatred. This dark entity of which we speak is Islam. Pure and simple. Islam. Islam is, was, and always will be the sworn enemy of freedom and tolerance; and therefore always has been and always will be the enemy of the Judeo/Christian West. There has never been a wavering from this eternal jihad, only temporary lapses and strategic withdrawals. Islam is founded on the principles of conquest. Not just any old conquests, but conquest of the infidel. And that, my friends, means you and me.

No amount of obfuscations or euphemistic denials on the part of collaborators and fools can alter this basic fact. All that these blind or cowardly manouvers achieve is a kind of procrastination, a slight delaying of the inevitable confrontation. A confrontation which they have so far refused to acknowledge. But, unfortunately, that refusal doesn't make our enemy go away. It just makes their job a little easier.

Here then are some of the truths we're selling today. At least look them over before you refuse to buy them. If you look at them carefully, you may hopefully learn to hate our enemies. And, yes, that is precisely what we need. Hate. Because without meeting their hatred with our own hatred, just as strong or even stronger, we will never win this war. No war was ever won without learning how to hate the enemy. And this one is certainly no exception. -rg

(Note: The West changed greatly in the 1960s. And in response, so did the world, and so did Islam. In particular, and politically, the West underwent a powerful Second Socialist Wave [after the First one with the "New Deal" 1930s]. This new "Great Society," "Civil Rights Era," "New Left," "hippie generation," etc. saw a profound upswing in cultural anti-Westernism and anti-Americanism. Even, and especially, in the West and America. Islam noted all this and changed dramatically -- and almost completely for the worse. Then, in 1967, tiny Israel defeated six massive Islamic armies simultaneously. And Islam changed even more dramatically -- and even more for the worse. Hence, today's Islam.)

A poll published by Britain's Policy Exchange think tank bore out the poisonous impact this indoctrination has had on young Muslims in the country. Thirty-seven percent of British Muslims between the ages of 16-24 would rather live under Shari'a law than under British Common Law; 36 percent think Muslims should be killed if they convert to another religion; 13 percent admire al-Qaida and similar terror groups; and a whopping 74 percent of young British Muslims believe women should wear veils.

They are the enemy and they are here now...

This is their largest mosque in the USA in Dearborn, Michigan

Fact:More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition combined. (source)

Thank you very much Faultline. I will.And Findalis -- "If there was no Israel there would still be Islamic terrorists.If there was no Islam, there would be very few terrorists."That pretty much sums it up. We in the West are used to confronting things in a rational way. We always look for rational explanations. That is why, despite all the evidence to the contrary, we keep believing that there is some rational explanation for Islam's aggressions. There must be a reason for their hatred of us -- something we've done, or our continuing (if at times somewhat ambiguous) support of Israel. We find it almost incomprehensible that their hatred stems from their faith, from Islam itself, from their Koran. Nothing we can ever do, no concessions we can ever make, will change that unless we totally submit to Islam.

The hate mongerers are the followers of Islam. I knew little of Muslims in 2001, and I gave them the benefit of the doubt, but now I know a lot, and I have no doubt about Islams or their Muslim followers. The truth bites, but at least my eyes are wide open now. It is unfortunate some people refuse to open their minds or eyes to the truth, but even more unfortunate is that these same people will drag us down with them.

Moe was the fear & hate salesman, and he was successful. www.quranbrowser.com can be used to search the Qur'an for words and phrases. Fear is a good one to search for. Moe told his listeners to fear Allah, who would condemn them to eternal torment if they did not perform exactly as he directed.

Moe directed them to make war upon and terrorize us. The commands are contained in Surahs Al-Anfal & Al-Taubah. They are confirmed in Bukhari's Jihad hadith.

Fight them until Allah has a monopoly; fight them until they pay tribute. I am commanded to fight.... If you doubt this, any of this, then you owe it to yourself and your children to examine the evidence. In "What You Need to Know About Islam", I provided links to the evidence. I also linked to a pdf containing the evidence. When you read those verses and the sayings which confirm them, the reality should quickly set into your consciousness.

Around 1,000,000 Jews fled the Arab world in the 1940s to the 1960s. The majority settled in Israel. But how did Jews fare under Arab rule historically? Was it really a “Golden Age”? While we can argue that there were some situations where Jews could make it to a government post when an Arab leader was fair and kind, Jews were always relegated to a situation of being third-class citizens and obligated to pay special taxes, jizya, for their very survival. This is a crucial point that the world has not taken notice of. Today, Christians and other minorities (gays, certain cultural groups), are being persecuted.

1800's - Jews of Yemen are forbidden to wear new or good clothes, nor could they ride a donkey or a mule. They were compelled to make long journeys on foot when occasion required it. They were prohibited from engaging in monetary transactions.

1834 -- "Suleika affair": Jewish woman from Tangier refuses to convert and marry a high-ranking official. She is executed in Fez.

1815 -- Jews of Mogador (Morocco) ordered to pay sudden jizya poll-tax. Those who pay punched on the forehead after turning over coins, those who refuse thrown in dungeon.

1884-1888 -- 307 Jews murdered over four years by Muslims, yet no Muslims put on trial.

1903 -- 40 Jews killed by Muslims during riots in Taza. More killed in Settat.

Thank you all. And thanks again Reut. This is why I love our readers so much. They don't just comment for or against a piece, they contribute to the discussion and to all of our understanding. The comments are always at least as interesting as the original articles. Sometimes, I think, more so.

Allah made Jihad the peak of Islam, and issued a curse against Muslims who would abandon it.

Islam seeks weakness and lack of resolve. When it finds them, it exploits them by attacking.

Islamic law requires a minimum of one attack against Dar al-Harb in every year. These are relevant, verifiable facts. Full documentation is available. I direct doubters to Crusader's Armory. Download and read Islamic Terror.chm, Jihad.chm, What's Wrong With Islam/Muslims.chm or Islamic Supremacism.chm.

Our best option is to completely eradicate Islam by inducing the maximum possible mass apostasy and ushering the recalcitrant slaves of Allah into Hell, where they belong.

Opinions

Opinions, in my opinion, unlike principles, are not sacred possessions to be protected, locked away and defended from all intruders. Rather, they are, or should be, living and evolving attitudes, constantly subjected to rigorous revision and adjustment — or, when necessary, quickly abandoned for some more plausible or cogent truth. - rg-- Wrestling With Mohammed - 12/9/07

The Age of Unreason

We are living in an new era, the Age of Unreason. We are being ruled by a ruthless and unyielding dictator who hides under the benign title of Political Correctness. This tyrant requires nothing less of us than our complete and unquestioning obedience to his rules of conduct. His ironclad laws permeate every area of our existence, even penetrating into our innermost thoughts. He vigorously supports and enforces these regulations through a formidable array of propaganda, misinformation and outright lies.

The truth about "Palestine"

For an intelligent and thorough rebuttal to the "Palestinian" Arabs' claims of "dispossession" by the Israeli Jews, Radarsite highly recommends Churchill's Parrot's authoritative essay "The Desert Bloom: An Insult to Human Dignity?"

Islam: Religion of peace.

8:67 It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom for freeing the captives), but Allâh desires (for you) the Hereafter. And Allâh is All-Mighty, All-Wise. Tafsir: 12
